Plot summary
As the news report that the Nighthawks painting was stolen from the Art Institute of Chicago, the Gallaghers debate on what to do, as Carl warns they could all face ten years in prison. They are forced to leave for other errands, while Liam (Christian Isaiah) takes Frank with him to prevent him from revealing the robbery to anyone.
Lip works on preparing the house for sale, while also preparing the Gallagher household for potential customers. During this, he discovers that the gas will not function due to damaged pipes. To pay for new pipes, he is forced to sell one of his bikes for a lower price. Ian and Mickey cover the Alibi, but decide to leave when they discover an affordable apartment at West Side. While Mickey likes the apartment, he does not like living in the West Side. Nevertheless, Ian has already signed a lease on the apartment.
Debbie takes Franny to accompany her in finding a new house, but she struggles with the idea of changes. She later fears ruining her life when they run into a homeless woman who was kicked out by her family. Kevin travels to Louisville to help Veronica and Carol with moving out. He takes a break to eat a burger at a bar, and then offers to fill in as a replacement bartender, making more money there in one day than the Alibi earns in a week. The manager is so impressed with Kevin’s abilities that he offers him a job. Veronica also has a chance to work for a local congressman in the city, prompting both of them to question their future in Chicago.
Carl reluctantly continues his work at the Eviction Unit. He is annoyed when a wealthy man double-parks near evicted people, and proceeds to arrest him when he slaps Carl. Carl's superior and Arthur let the man go, telling Carl that his job is to simply evict poor people, as they rely on wealthy people for their benefit. Liam takes Frank with him, as he tries to bribe a classmate to give him his spot at a prestigious school. Frank's dementia worsens, and Liam is forced to take him home. As Liam explains his condition, Frank laments Liam's role as his caregiver, feeling it is not his job.
Liam then takes Frank to a tattoo shop, where he gets the words " do not resuscitate " tattooed in his chest. That night, Lip and Ian discover that Franny placed stickers into the Nighthawks painting. As a last resort, they place the painting in the subway train, where a man finds it.
